THE COURSE THEME SONG -Why is We're in the Jailhouse Now* an appropriate theme song for a course in our country's criminal law? Perhaps because we have more criminals in our prisons and jails than any other nation. With 5% of the world's population we have 25% of its prisoners.

I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob / He used to steal, gamble and rob / He thought he was the smartest* guy around / Well I found out last Monday / That Bob got locked up Sunday / They've got him in the jailhouse way down town.

He's in the jail house now / He's in the jail house now / Well I told him once or twice/ To stop* playin' cards and a shootin' dice // He's in the jail house now.

(Yodel)

Bob liked to play his poker / He knuckled with Dan Yoakum/ But shootin' dice was his favorite game / He got throwed in jail / With nobody to go his bail /

The judge done said that he refused a fine.

He's in the jail house now / He's in the jail house now / Well I told him once or twice / To stop** playin' cards and a shootin' dice // He's in the jail house now.

(Yodel)

Well I went out last Tuesday / I met a girl named Susie / I said I was the swellest guy around / Well we started to spending my money / And she started to calling' me honey / We took in every cabaret*** in town.

We're in the jail house now / We're in the jail house now /Well I told that judge right to his face / I don't like to see this place // We're in the jail house now.
